Early postoperative seizures, defined as occurring within 7 days after surgery, are a significant complication that occurs following neurosurgical procedures involving cerebral manipulation. As a result, short-term antiseizure medication is typically administered in Japan despite the lack of consensus regarding its prophylactic use. Perampanel hydrate, an α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor antagonist, was recently introduced in an intravenous formulation in Japan, providing new potential for early postoperative seizures prevention during the perioperative period.

Genetic modifiers of epilepsy: A narrative review.

Mol Cell Neurosci

September 2025

Department of Personalized & Molecular Medicine, Era University, Lucknow, India.

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that shows strong genetic control on the timing and onset of symptoms and drug response variability. Some epilepsy syndromes have clear monogenic mutations but genes with control on the phenotype and severity of the disorder and drug sensitivity are present in the whole genetic profile. Genetic modifiers are not the cause of epilepsy but control significant networks such as synaptic plasticity and ion channels and neurodevelopment and neuroinflammation and therefore the reason why two individuals with the same primary mutations have different clinical courses.

Objectives: Responsive neurostimulation (RNS) electrocorticographic (ECoG) data may have a role in objectively assessing the efficacy of add-on antiseizure medications (ASMs). This retrospective, multicenter, observational, 24-week study is the first to report the effects of cenobamate on RNS-detected events (RDE).

Methods: Patients included adults (≥18 years) with a history of recurrent focal seizures and implanted RNS who initiated adjunctive cenobamate ≥ 3 months after RNS implant between 4/1/20-12/15/23 and who received ≥ 2 weeks of cenobamate (≥50 mg/day).

Connectivity-based localization and mapping of central epilepsy semiology.

Epilepsy Behav

September 2025

Department of Neurosurgery, Epilepsy Research Center of PLA, Xinqiao Hospital, Army Medical University, 183 Xinqiao Main Street, Shapingba District, Chongqing 400037, China. Electronic address:

Objective: Semiology-based preoperative anatomical hypotheses are necessary, yet comprehensive reports on the semiology and its correlation with central subregions in central epilepsy has still lacked. We wished to identify semiologic subgroups and their correlations with central subregions.

Methods: We retrospectively included 21 patients with central epilepsy identified by stereoelectroencephalography (sEEG).
